One Stitch Closer. Impressive and Inspiring.

"Women are the fabric that holds the world together." (Gap Inc. - One Stitch Closer program)

Have you heard of the program called “One Stitch Closer?” I hadn't - until I watched a video posted by a friend on Facebook. Now I feel like I want to tell everyone I know about it.The video I saw on Facebook, produced by One Stitch Closer, is about a 24-year old woman named Veronica Scott. I have embedded it here. Take just two and a half minutes to listen to it. I can guarantee that you will be inspired. In awe. And impressed. Veronika's story really moved me. She is proof that no matter what a person's circumstances, we can all make a difference. And by really paying attention to what is needed, we can make a difference that really counts. Veronika explains this eloquently. Just click play, and listen to what she has to say!

Learning about One Stitch Closer has made me appreciate Gap, Inc. for more than just their retail stores. I had never heard about this company's strong commitment to supporting women, through their program called P.A.C.E. (Personal Advancement & Career Enhancement.)One Stitch Closer is a program which further extends the commitment of P.A.C.E. It shares inspirational stories of women who have found ways to make themselves and the world better every day. After watching Veronika's video, I listened to several other videos produced by One Stitch Closer, and was impressed by them as well.Their stories have inspired me to think about what more I can do in my own life, to move us "one stitch closer to a brighter tomorrow."

How about you?

#WomenInspireThis post may be linked to one of the great link-up parties I follow and list on my blog. Check them out!This is not a sponsored post. All of the opinions are entirely my own.

This is such an amazing young woman with a huge heart. I agree with you Susan - it makes me want to look within myself to see what more I can do that really matters. Thanks so much - I'll be sharing this!

I am sitting here bawling my eyes out. I have never seen anything like it. So many times we focus on our own careers our own wants but to be able to do something like this that not only keeps the homeless warm but puts them to work and builds self esteem and pride in themselves is so inspiring. I am trying to get my ducks in a row these next couple of weeks I want to hit 2015 running. I want to do so much more than what I am doing and this has inspired me even further. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I pinned it to a new board I have created called "Need Some Inspiration" because I know I can watch this again and again and have this same feeling of awe at this woman who is the same age as my kids!
